News_Rich_Media: Fox Sports commentator Matthew Johns believes Cronulla's $1 million fine could have been worse and allows the club to remain in the Shire instead of relocating to Queensland or Perth.

He is one coach who doesn't speak in cliches and doesn't "play games'' with the press.

Flanagan has until 15 January 2014 to respond to the charges. The Sharks have indicated they will defend the allegations.

News_Rich_Media: The Cronulla Sharks have been handed a provisional fine of $1 million, while coach Shane Flanagan has been suspended for 12 months over the ASADA scandal.

The preliminary findings against Shane Flanagan include that he:

* Failed to ensure a safe and healthy work environment;

* Failed to properly supervise the Head of Strength and Conditioning;

* Failed to ensure the Head of Strength and Conditioning complied with his obligation to inform the Club Doctor about changes that had been made to the supplement program and to obtain his prior approval with respect to those changes;

* Failed to take appropriate action when he became aware that unsafe practices had been employed in the administration of supplements to players;

* Failed to ensure that the Head of Strength and Conditioning complied with a protocol that had been agreed on 7 April 2011 to the effect that the prior approval of the Club Doctor be obtained with respect to any supplements that were intended to be administered to players.
